The Lampman School drama group competed in Moosomin for the Regional Drama Festival held from March 26-28. Here the students put on two, 15 minute performances, “Chester Who Painted the World Purple,” and “Drugs are Bad.” They received runner-up for Best Overall Production and runner-up for Best Technical.
Each one of the students, however, came home with recognition in their respective fields. Cassidy Roy received a Mary Ellen Burgess Acting Award. The SVT Acting Award went to Sam Paxman, while the acting medallion was earned by Carter Thornton, and an acting certificate went to Adrianna Raynard.
Darian Freeden received runner-up for Best Stage Manager and Hannah Stinson was awarded runner-up for the Bob Hinnett Technical Award.
Other technical recognitions went to K’Lyn Duttenhoffer and Taylor Paige, both received the Technical Medallion, and Technical Certificates were earned by Taylor Grimes and Tara Fleck.
Unsung Hero awards also went to Duttenhoffer and Anna Raynard for their efforts in the productions that Lampman put on during competition.
In addition to the Regional Drama Fest Awards, drama director, Christine Branyik-Thorton, acknowledged Donavon Andrews with a Special Reserve Award for coming up with the paint sound-effect used in “Chester Who Painted the World Purple,” an integral cue in a production centred on painting.
